chapter 25 ~ ball

cassie's pov

i woke up to find myself cuddling into brook, my head resting on his bare chest. i felt his hand running through my hair so he must have been awake a little while. i shuffled around a bit, cuddling into his chest more

"am i allowed to move now?" he gently laughed in his morning voice after realising i was awake

"no i'm comfy" i sleepily mumbled. he chuckled and continued to play with my hair. i laid there peacefully for a little while longer before sitting up and stretching.

"what time is it?" i asked, rubbing my eyes

"half 10" he replied as he picked up his phone to look at the time

"whoops" i mumbled, laying back down and cuddling into my pillow. i felt the other side of the mattress rise as brook got up

"do you want me to make you some breakfast?" he asked

"no i'll feel bad" i murmured into my pillow but didn't do anything to stop him.

"too late" he chuckled and left my room to go make us some food. i rolled over to where he was laying since it was warm and cuddled further into the covers. as i began to wake up more, i started to remember why brook was here, and everything else that had happened yesterday. i groaned and rolled over, sitting up and leaning against the backboard. i pulled my hoodie over my legs and put my hood up, tightening the strings so i could become a little ball. and that's when brook walked in

"hello" he laughed and i giggled as he placed a plate of toast and orange juice on the side

"this is all i know how to make" he laughed and i did too, taking my legs out of my hoodie and putting my hood down

"thank youuu" i smiled as he got his own plate and sat in the bed

"no worries. so are you doing anything today?" he asked, taking a bite out of his toast

"i might just have a lazy day" i replied, doing the same and he nodded

"i think we're at the studio today so i'll have to leave soon" he said and i pouted, feeling better with his company.

"don't worry, you'll be okay by yourself" he spoke,
"we have a show on sunday so we need to rehearse. you and the girls are allowed backstage with us" he smiled

"i didn't know there was a show in the first place?" i laughed
"but i'm excited already" i smiled. i'd never seen the boys sing properly in person, only ever in videos. the thought of the first time hearing them they're on stage is amazing, and hopefully will be fun so i can't wait. maybe it will help to make me feel better too.

"so i'll have to get going now" he said, getting up and putting his shirt back on. he picked up both our plates and took them to the kitchen and i followed him

"so i'll see you sunday if i don't before then" he said, pulling me into a hug

"have fun" i smiled, hugging him as he placed a kiss on the top of my head

"bye bye" he waved before opening the door and leaving. once the door closed, i went back to bed, putting on a movie to watch. i cuddled back up into my duvet, surrounding myself with warmth. i slowly sunk into the coziness of the mattress as i slowly started to fall back to sleep, once again slipping away to my dream land
